Core Workshops
Each year LIFT facilitators and staff receive the transformative 2-day 7 Habits training. Additionally, the 2-day training is offered for new teachers and hires that were employed mid-year and for any teacher/staff who would like a refresher.
MCUSD#2 has also invested in our LiM process by certifying staff and now students in 7 Habits facilitation. LIFT is fortunate to have 2 of our 8 facilitators with this certification. This has assisted us in equipping our other facilitators and our students with support on their journey with the 7 Habits.
Ongoing Staff Boosters
Being developed around the Highly Effective Practices of the 7 Habits, LIFT strives to model and live the 7 Habits in the intentional structure of our weekly content, practices, meetings, and collaboration. MCUSD#2 provides PD every year to kick off each school year. 2022 was extra special starting with Muriel Summers! LIFT offers weekly 7 Habits content that involves all students and staff as well as 7 Habits Boosters throughout the year in response to feedback from adults and students. These meetings and boosters are facilitator led and, at times, student led.
New Staff Development
New staff receive the 2-day 7 Habits training and are paired with a mentor teacher to come alongside all aspects of teaching. LIFT is supported by the intentional systems of 4DX and action teams. New staff are mentored through daily lunch talks, weekly collaboration meetings, and monthly action team meetings.
